   1. On May 17, 1988, the overloaded scallop dragger, CAPT. BOB, capsized in the middle basin of Port Canaveral when her starboard outrigger failed. Approximately 2,000 gallons of marine diesel entered the water and an estimated 3,000 - 7,000 gallons remained on board. The U.S. Coast Guard Marine Safety Office, Jacksonville, was notified of the incident by Coast Guard Station, Port Canaveral.
